2c7d336711 bindings: rename 'cutwordleft' to 'chopwordleft', and similar for right 
These bindable functions should not connote cutting, as they don't put

dc99610c36 docs: reword and reshuffle the description of --rawsequences

67c69b2298 options: rename long version of -K from --rebindkeypad to --rawsequences

--rebinddelete option: the latter can now be shortened to --rebind
without getting a conflict, and --rawsequences can be abbreviated
to simply --raw and still make sense.

as they do in some other editors, and without affecting the cutbuffer.

975b491235 dropping a feature: remove the ability to use the 'formatter' command

lacking, has been obsolete and pointless for more than a year.

in the texinfo document, and order the regex consistently.

bb4d0d548a new feature: allow lines to be softwrapped at whitespace 
Extend get_softwrap_breakpoint() to break softwrapped lines on
whitespace when a flag is set.  This flag is controlled by the new
rcfile option "atblanks".  The '>' characters marking two-column
characters at the edge of the screen are disabled when it's on.

If get_softwrap_breakpoint() can't find whitespace in screen range, it
will break the line on the screen edge.  (In this case, a blank can be
on the last column of the screen, but text can't, so that a blank on the
last column doesn't become invisible and possibly break the display.)

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?49959.

754c62c5cc copyright: update the years, use ranges, and explain this usage 
The interval 2013-2017 for the Free Software Foundation is valid
because in those years there were releases with changes by either
Chris or David, and the GNU maintainers guide advises to mention
a new year in all files of a package, not just in the ones that
actually changed, and be done with it for the rest of the year.

6981294c9d build: move all documentation into a single directory 
There are just a handful of source files for the documentation --
it is wasteful and cumbersome to have these in separate directories.

Also: remove the French man pages -- they are too far out of date.
(And anyway, we should acquire a general framework for translating
the documentation.)
